Don't waste your time on this book. Meillassoux claims victory over correlationism, yet the correlationists he discusses do not exist outside of his imaginations. Also it is quite intriguing to see him quote, praise and blindly follow his doctoral advisor's philosophical methods. There are a lot of interesting fields in mathematics that offer alternatives as a foundation of mathematics to set theory, like homotopy type theory and category theory, the former being a field currently under active research. The fact that these philosophers chose to use a theory that is older than 100 years, offered no reinforcement or rectification to it and just treat it as a given starting point for their philosophical research completely baffles me.
